Squirrels are full of fleas

I eat very little game anymore. The two years after I came home from the Navy I was semi-retired. Cash flow was just a trickle. I ate deer, rabbit, squirrel, coon and whatever else showed itself. I guess I got burned out on it. These days when I have to kill a melon eating coon, I'll bury him under a plant before roasting him.

 

[NirvanaMesa]

Yeah I eat game on rare occasion and well it sucks! Rabbits smell terrible when you butcher it, doves are ok but you get a couple bites per bird, deer, huge PITA to chop up. Sawing heads and limbs off is a buzz kill. I shot a big honker goose for Thanksgiving one year, it was terrible...

Ham and chicken thighs from costco are the bomb though. Their bacon is the shit too...

Never been able to grow anything up till now and this cannabis thing seems to be working, so trying my hand at a couple Veg Tent Mascots.

Meet Vicky (Panda Plant) and Carl (Silver Arrows Cactus, a.k.a. "The Prick") in their one off hempy bucket.

I hope they'll be making Veg tent photo bombs in my journal for years to come

When we used to dig up prickly pears in the yard, the only sure way to kill them was to toss them in a bucket of water.

Do yourself a favor and grow an aloe, it has a lot of great uses including cloning the cannabis.
It will be interesting seeing how those two do in a bucket of water. Good luck and please update regularly.

I've got two in 3 gallon pots sunk flush with the ground. I always mean to put them under a tree or something in the winter, but I always forget. They get killed back and start fresh in the spring.

Hahaha I’ve killed so many I can’t even count that high. I put stuff on the back porch and forget about it until it’s to late, I do it every year. I guess I would learn at some point but no . Ol’ plant killer that should be my name.

I took the glass off the green house today. Tomatoes were very thirsty. They are too big for the little cups. As soon as I get to it, I need to up pot most of them. Peppers looked better. Not as big I guess.

 

[xtsho]

I picked some mustard greens the other day. They sure tasted good. I cooked most of them but used some in a fresh salad as well. My overwintered kale all started bolting so I harvested those as well. Planted some peas and radishes also.

I have my tomato, pepper and eggplant starts going inside. Also some lettuce, Thai basil, English daisies, and some trailing geraniums that I collected seed from last summer.

My lady thinks I'm crazy because I keep looking through all my seeds. She said looking at them isn't going to make it time to plant them. She's right but I still organize, look, organize again. I have them all separated now by type and in nice bundles secured by paper clips. I didn't realize how many seeds I had. I can't stop myself from buying more. Everytime I go to the store I grab a pack or two.

 

[NirvanaMesa]

Nothing wrong with that buddy. Some people have much worse addictions or expensive hobbies. Even a huge collection of seeds os pretty cheap.

I saw these at the Tractor Supply co when I was picking up some bird seed and couldn't help myself.



I also jumped the gun on starting some Nasturtium plants, because I wasn't sure how long they would take,


Im so jealous of you guys in warm places. Up here in the mitten Last frost is still a couple months away.

I'm a sucker for buying plants early and then having to nurse them thru the inevitable frost that always happens

I decided even though it is supposed to drop into the 20's for a couple days in a row to put one of the Hardy kiwi outside to see if it holds up.

Found a nice sunny spot on my back fence line. I am hoping in a few years to have this entire back fence full of Hardy Kiwi fruits. I am not sure if the deer will let me get any on the outer side, but figure my dogs should keep the ones that fruit inside the fence safe.


I put it just outside of it so my dogs don't dig it up to get to the blood/bone meal in the nutrients I mixed into the soil.



And I am hoping that this upside down bin works well enough to get it through the freeze but doesn't greenhouse effect it too much before it gets too cold. I figure I have the other plant as backup if this doesn't hold up, but I am hoping for the best, I am just bored I think.

I've got tomato plants ready to be transplanted into pots. Could go ahead and put the peppers in their spot in the garden for that matter. Nothing else done. More time to work on it though. After tonight's event, my work is shutting down for a month. Most likely another month after that. I'll check in when I can, but I do all my RIU posting from work. So. . . . . . I might be low pro for the next little while.
